Why Louisiana tells us the most about Trump
Washington Examiner ^ | March 6, 2016 | W. James Antle III

Posted on 03/06/2016 6:54:04 AM PST by Zakeet

Louisiana ... was a primary rather than a caucus. Trump won the state on strength of early voters. He lost among people who showed up on election day. The RealClearPolitics polling average showed him leading by 15.6 percentage points, but he only carried Louisiana by 3.6 points.

Trump finished on the low end of his March polling, with a shade more than 41 percent of the vote, while Cruz overperformed even the high end at better than 37 percent.

If there was any sign that an anti-Trump vote is coming together, we saw it in Louisiana.

Any chance you’ll post proof of the BS you post?

Trump got over 40 percent in Cruz’s back yard and won.

I would think the same could be said for Maine......

Romney and the rest of the establishment are just fine wtih Cruz if he stops Trump. Buy a clue. You’re known by the friends you keep and right now Cruz’s friends sure do not look good to this Conservative.

My prediction should Cruz get the nomination is that his eligibility will either be challenged by the GOP-E or more likely, the Democrats will challenge it after the convention. Either way, Cruz will end up not being the nominee and a Romney will be called on to save the day.

What could have been a revolution with Trump and Co. will become just another failure of the people and continued slide into socialism. Makes me sad.

Add in what he did to Carson, Rubio, and Trump and Cruz belongs with Glenn Beck.

Not my assertion -

Remember, Jeff Roe is from Kansas


Jeff Roe Linked Once Again To Political Lies
http://www.yeoldejournalist.com/23653-2/

This is not the first time that a Jeff Roe run campaign has been accused of leaking to the press that a candidate running against them was quitting the race. In 2010, a press release was sent to KSPR that appeared to be from the Scott Eckersley campaign that noted he was dropping out. KSPR ran the story in the morning news and Eckersley was put in damage control in the final days of the campaign.

I might be half a click more inclined to believe this assertion if it came from the Huffington Post, as it stands right now it is nothing more than a tactic to muddy the waters against Cruz.

From all accounts, Cruz actually beat Trump in LA among people who voted yesterday. Trump only took the state due to his lead in the early voting.

Cruz won the same amount of delegates as Trump.

Yes Romney is making the Sunday talk show rounds and his 15 minutes of infamy will be up pretty soon. Trump is going to have some big wins on Tuesday and be back on track.

He needs to avoid any further debates and just keep campaigning.

Exactly. Rubio is the one making the dick joke but they blame it on Trump. Why? How?

And what happened to that Phil Robertson endorsement?

Louisiana sure shot that down. Probably the last one he’ll be allowed to make in her career.

No doubt, Hellry would not only sue him (NBC) if Cruz is nominee but would eat him alive on debates. A polite Hahvud debater is NOT what is needed to defeat the witch

Few men, especially one such as young Ted Cruz, would do well enduring the full wrath of Hillary set upon them in that voice she's infamous for.

It's very disconcerting at a primal male level and I quite honestly don't think Cruz is up to that challenge.

Regardless, I knew the GOPe wasn't against Cruz, and likely was encouraging him, when young Teddy CRoozevelt announced his run for POTUS.

The game is somewhat more obvious now. Cruz might stop Trump and "they" pretty much own Cruz and have since his beginning as a career politician.

Potus candidate Ted now has the cred to ride through the door obama that opened.

That's how "they" roll and roll over US.

The telling thing is that they arent running as “pro” anything.

Just anti-TRump. Get rid of Trump, and they fall apart within 24 hours.

Just wonder if Cruz is so dumb as to think that isnt what will happen.

Except that Jeff Roe is running Cruz’s campaign. He’s a sleezebag of the first order. Do some research.

The guy Ted fired was a sleeze bag too. And his replacement isn’t much better - busted for hiring illegal aliens - twice.

Think Rick Lazio.

If Cruz actually got the nomination. I will kick back and no longer care about the 2016 election, because I know it will be the Democrat buzzsaw ripping him to shreds 24/7.

Yep early voting counts just as much as the people who wait till the last day.

“It was Mr. Roe who hired Mr. Tyler to be the Cruz campaign’s spokesman. (In an interview this month, Mr. Tyler said he had “learned a lot” from Mr. Roe. “Jeff wins,” Mr. Tyler said, adding, “I don’t think anything we’ve done is underhanded or deceptive or anything like that.”)

But back home, Mr. Roe’s allies and opponents alike have seen a familiar imprint in the Cruz campaign’s recent exploits, which have included a Photoshopped image of Mr. Rubio and the misleading suggestion, on the night of the Iowa caucuses, that Ben Carson was leaving the race.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/24/us/politics/ted-cruz-campaign-manager-jeff-roe.html?_r=0

All been done before by Jeff Roe. Now Tyler is canned.
